6/10

claims fully supported

“High on protein, higher on taste”true

Nutrition data confirms 25 g protein per 100 g, which is genuinely high for a breakfast cereal; taste is subjective and unverifiable.

“High Protein Oats”true

At 25 g protein per 100 g (29% of energy from protein), the high-protein label is well-supported by the nutrition panel.

“100% Vegan Friendly Ingredients”true

All listed ingredients are plant-derived; the product is declared vegan in extra information; no animal-derived ingredient appears in the dossier.

“Say No To Artificial Flavours”true

No artificial flavours appear in the ingredient list; natural cocoa powder is used for chocolate flavour.

“Say No To Artificial Colours”true

No artificial colour appears in the declared ingredient list.

“Say No To Preservatives”true

No preservative-category ingredient appears in the declared ingredient list.

“Say No To Gluten & Palm Oil”misleading

No palm oil is present — that part holds. However, rolled oats contain the protein avenin and are frequently cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains; the label itself discloses the product is 'processed in a facility that handles wheat', creating a meaningful gluten cross-contamination risk that contradicts an unqualified 'no gluten' assertion.

“A better day starts with a bowl”unverified

Purely subjective marketing tagline; no factual data available to evaluate.

“Nourish you • the farmers • the planet”unverified

No third-party certification, fair-trade audit, or environmental impact data is present in any of the four data sources to substantiate farmer or planetary benefit claims.

“Plant-based ingredients good for you and for the planet”misleading

All ingredients are confirmed plant-based and the product is vegan; 'good for the planet' is a values assertion with no certification or lifecycle data provided.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

Very high protein — 25 g per 100 g
High dietary fibre — 11 g per 100 g, including oat beta-glucans
Fully vegan; all ingredients plant-based
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives declared
Zero trans fat
FSSAI licensed; manufactured and marketed by named entities

Working against

NOVA 4 ultra-processed: contains texturized soya protein isolate
Antioxidant additive unnamed on label — lacks full transparency
Contains 8.3 g added sugar per 100 g
Saturated fat moderately high at 5.8 g per 100 g
Multiple major allergens: peanuts, soy, tree nuts
Processed in facility handling wheat and milk — cross-contamination risk

Who should approach with care

Gluten Intolerance — The product contains rolled oats (which carry cross-reactivity risk via avenin) and is manufactured in a facility that handles wheat, making it unsuitable for individuals with coeliac disease or confirmed gluten intolerance despite the 'no gluten' marketing claim.

Nut Allergy — The product contains both peanuts (unsweetened peanut butter, 18%) and almonds — both recognized priority allergens capable of triggering anaphylaxis in sensitized individuals.

Other — Individuals with a diagnosed soy allergy must strictly avoid this product, as texturized soya protein is a major food allergen under FALCPA and EU Regulation 1169/2011 Annex II.

Diabetes — Raw sugar (sucrose) contributes 8.3 g added sugar per 100 g and raisins add concentrated natural fructose-glucose; both can elevate postprandial blood glucose, requiring portion control and monitoring.

Infants — Multiple ingredients — cocoa powder (methylxanthines), whole-food peanut and almond fractions (choking and allergy risk), raisins (choking), and soy protein (developmental hormonal concerns) — make this product unsuitable for infants.

Pregnancy — Cocoa powder contributes caffeine and theobromine that cross the placenta, and texturized soya protein provides concentrated phytoestrogens; both warrant moderation and medical guidance during pregnancy.

Lactation — Caffeine and theobromine from cocoa powder are secreted into breast milk and may cause irritability or sleep disturbances in nursing infants.

Thyroid Disease — Isoflavones in texturized soya protein may impair thyroid hormone synthesis and reduce absorption of thyroid replacement medications such as levothyroxine.

Kidney Disease — Peanut butter and almonds are high in phosphorus and oxalates, and cocoa powder adds additional oxalate load — all of concern for individuals with chronic kidney disease requiring dietary restriction.

Ibs — Multiple high-FODMAP ingredients — rolled oats (beta-glucans), peanut butter (fructans), raisins (fructose/fermentable fibre), and cocoa caffeine — can collectively worsen bloating, cramping, and altered bowel habit in IBS.

Children — High soy isoflavone exposure from texturized soya protein, cadmium risk from cocoa powder at high percentile intake, and concentrated added sugar warrant moderated portion sizes and parental supervision for young children.

Heart Disease — Caffeine and theobromine in cocoa powder can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and the 5.8 g saturated fat per 100 g is moderately elevated; medical guidance is advisable for those with established cardiovascular conditions.

Gout — Sucrose (raw sugar) and raisins both contribute fructose, which elevates uric acid via purine-independent pathways; peanuts add purine content, collectively raising gout-flare risk in predisposed individuals.

Migraine — Cocoa powder contains phenylethylamine and caffeine, both established dietary migraine triggers in susceptible individuals.

Sulfite Sensitivity — Commercially sourced raisins may have been processed with sulfur dioxide; the label does not specify sun-dried or untreated origin, leaving sulfite exposure uncertain for sensitive individuals.

The full analysis

This product is aimed at health-conscious urban Indian consumers seeking a high-protein, plant-based breakfast option. With 25 g of protein and 11 g of fibre per 100 g, genuinely impressive numbers for a breakfast cereal, it earns its 'high protein' positioning. The ingredient list is relatively clean — no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives — and all ingredients are vegan. However, texturized soya protein is an industrial isolate that pushes the product into ultra-processed (NOVA 4) territory, an unspecified 'Antioxidant' additive is not transparently named on the label, added sugar contributes 8.3 g/100 g, and the product carries multiple major allergens (peanuts, soy, tree nuts) with cross-contamination risk from wheat and milk in the manufacturing facility. The single most useful takeaway: strong protein and fibre numbers in a mostly clean formulation, but the 'no gluten' claim deserves scrutiny given oat cross-contamination risk and shared wheat-handling equipment.
